Which programer to get for 27C801 EPROMs?

[Blasingame]

I am looking to get into the art of repros for the SNES. I'd like to know what users in the community suggest for a EPROM programmer for the 27C801 EPROM.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks!

I use this as it's the cheapest I could find. Also note that a 27c801, 27c080 are the same.

If you ever want to do 16bit chips though, your better off with a willem and a 40-42pin adapter.

Why would the Willem be better for 16-bit chips as opposed to the one posted in the ebay link? Should I have the same quality from either programmer?

I'm just trying to decide which one would be best to get. And I'm pobably only going to stick with just programming EPROMs for SNES carts.

The 16bit eproms are 42 pins, that unit linked is only 40. I'm unsure if a willem adapter would work on this unit.

The only game that's worth nothing that uses a 16bit chip is StarOcean.
